International Consortium for the Promotion of Dancing Swine

The International Consortium for the Promotion of Dancing Swine has been working overtime ensuring that their clients are properly represented in all kinds of media, but most especially children's board books.

Boynton is doing her best to support the Consortium. There's quite a few books with piggies in her oevre. we are particular fans of _Barnyard Dance_ over here. (Although, it has recently taken second place to Boynton's _Doggies_ because Zora is into delivering a very gutteral "whoo, whoo" as the sound for dogs.)

About Me

On top of being a wife and full-contact parent to three young children, I am an advocate for livable communities and alternative transportation. That means working for communities that work for every member of the community, including those who are either unable or unwilling to drive. It's all about making our communities stronger.
